I do like this piece, it's very deep and dark and mysterious... the kind of thing a mother would sing to her baby as it drifted into sleep. It's also got many layers of depth. On the surface, it is innocent, but if you think deeper, it could be anything.

A young girl trying to escape because she is scared? A young woman stuck in an abusive relationship dreaming of beyond?

The possibilities are endless... this poem is whatever the reader wants it to be. That, paired with the fact that the feeling of striving for something constantly out of reach is a feeling that anyone can relate to, makes for a great read.

I enjoyed this poem, magnificent work! I hope to read more poems from you soon. Please private message me or email me at if you have any questions.
